NFL Notes: Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Draft

March 23, 2018

Josh Allen

An NFC executive tells Lance Zierlein that he believes Wyoming’s Josh Allen is the top quarterback in this year’s draft, despite the accuracy concerns.

“Josh Allen is the best quarterback in this draft,” the executive said. “I think all of the talk about his accuracy is the most overblown thing out there. His guys don’t get open, which causes a lot of the incompletions — it’s not an accuracy issue.”

There were 16 teams in attendance for Allen’s Pro Day on Friday including the Broncos, Cardinals, Bills, 49ers, Chargers, Browns, Titans, Lions, Giants, Jets, Saints, Jaguars, Colts, Dolphins, Seahawks, and Ravens with Cleveland having the largest group at eight people. (Andrew Groover)

Rosen said during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show that he has had private workouts for the Bills, Browns, Jets and Giants and will meet with the Broncos, Cardinals and Dolphins among others over the next 10 days.
